Orthogonal

Orthogonal connects your agent to a catalog of paid tools. Search for a tool, run it, and pay per request. No per-provider accounts to manage.

How it works

Describe what you need, or browse the catalog. Search returns matching tools with their price.

Run

Run the tool. Orthogonal connects to the provider for you and returns the result.

Pay per request

Every response includes the price. You pay only for the calls you make.

Three ways to connect. All reach the same catalog. See the Quickstart for the two-minute version.

Add to Claude Desktop, Cursor, or any MCP client:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "orthogonal": {
      "url": "https://mcp.orthogonal.com"
    }
  }
}
